Cross the bridge after 6.5 miles and the Van Buren County line. Travel another mile and turn right on York Road. Travel nine-tenths of a mile to a stop sign and turn left. About one-tenth of a mile, you will see the Drake Cemetery on the right. On the left side of the road is a field. Not even a half-miles walking distance amongst the trees is a fenced in gravesite. There are five headstones and footstones standing. Weather has worn the righting on the markers, so you cannot read them anymore. Someone was kind enough to place a nice marker with an inscription showing who was buried in each plot. Rev. John Ray 1739-1813 Isham Ray Mary Brazeal Nancy Cooper Frances Ray York (married Uriah York and he is buried at Crain Hill Cemetery) Transcribed by: S. A.
